February 2013 Giveaway

For the month of February I am giving away one Too Faced palette that is brand new and absolutely beautiful. The packing is much sleeker than previous palettes and I think you could get great daytime looks and nighttime. This retails for $36 USD on the Sephora website.

PRIZE

1 Too Faced Boudoir Eyes palette that retails for $36. Sephora says, "This handpicked collection of eye shadows offers boudoir-worthy colors including five new shades just for this palette for a total of nine soft and sexy colors. Created with high concentrations of color, what you see is what you get: pigment-rich shades with a brilliant finish. As with all Too Faced palettes, a show-and-tell centerfold Glamour Guide is included to give you instructions on creating three Boudoir Eyes looks." This palette is paraben and cruelty free.

January 2013 Giveaway(closed)

For the month of January I have picked up a limited edition item which is already sold out on the MAC website. I am giving away the limited edition MAC mineralize skinfinish in Stereo Rose. This is a cult favorite from MAC and a color that I think would work well on a lot of skintones. The value is $29 and you get 10 grams of product. PRIZEI am giving away 1 MAC mineralize skinfinish in Stereo Rose which is a $29 value. This is what MAC has to say about the skinfinish, "A luxurious velvet-soft powder with high-frost metallic finish. Smoothes on: adds buffed-up highlights to cheeks, or an overall ultra-deluxe polish to the face." This is a beautiful color that I think everyone can really enjoy.

December 2012 Giveaway(closed)

I have a great giveaway for December. Urban Decay recently came out with a new palette called the Naked Basics palette. It literally just came out today November 29th and I ordered one for you all to have a chance and win. Of course I picked one up for myself too. This is the palette of the moment and one that everyone is talking about. The value is $27 and I believe it is only available right now at urbandecay.com. PRIZESo in the palette you get 6 matte neutral colors. This is what Urban Decay has to say about the palette, "Naked Basics is more than just the long-awaited, multipurpose MATTE companion to Naked. It’s the palette EVERY woman needs in her beauty arsenal. With six stripped-down, Nakedly neutral shadows, it has everything you need for the perfect neutral matte eye—including four totally new and exclusive shades.Use these shadows to contour, line and highlight to create the right amount of definition for any occasion. Or for the days when you’re craving more color, pair them with your fiercest, boldest shadows. Richer than other mattes, the color goes on with a smooth, luxe finish (never chalky or powdery). There’s even one demi-matte shade, Venus, which has the tiniest touch of satin—perfect for highlighting and adding dimension. While this palette is small, we loaded it with full-size shadow pans, just like our other Naked palettes. Every shade features our Pigment Infusion System™, a vehicle for color that holds tightly to pigment and gives the formula its glide. The proprietary blend of ingredients allows color to weave itself through the Eyeshadow formula. What does all that mean? Insane color payout. Color that stays on your lids. Sparkle that doesn’t fall. And velvety, suede-like smoothness and blendability. It all comes in a sleek compact (embossed with a pretty, metallic “NAKED” on the front) that has a slight sheen and a suede-like feel that practically begs to be touched. (Hello…how gorgeous will THAT look coming out of your bag?!) Best of all, the slim design is perfect for travel—so you’ll never have to be without these must-have shades.What you see is what you get: Venus (soft, off-white demi-matte), Foxy (cream bisque matte), Walk of Shame (very light nude matte), Naked2 (taupe matte), Faint (warm, dusty brown matte) and Crave (deepest, darkest brown/black matte)."Fill Weight: 6 x 1.3g e 6 x 0.05 US oz

Hi there! Great giveaway! There are so many awesome bloggers out there but we will tell you who was our main source of inspiration for us to start our own blog and You Tube Channel - http://makeupbytiffanyd.blogspot.com/ http://www.youtube.com/user/MakeupByTiffanyD. Love her!!

September Entry:My favourite drugstore make up is probably the Revlon lipsticks, they're gorgeous and I especially love the formula of the colour stay ones. I know they've been out for ages but I still love them!Twitter: @besemteeGFC: Bailey Melvin-Tengemail: besemtee@gmail.com

hi, great giveaway! and a good question: for holidays i would need some basi taupe eyeshadows, but also some shimmer - i have not decided which yet. Hope i win the palette.... thanks a lotRadmila, rada76@mail.ru

Hm, not entirely sure my comment was posted. I've been using the original Naked palette to create my holiday looks. I've also been updating the basic, everyday look with gold eye shadow (half baked). Thank you for the giveaway!

My everyday look for the winter is a shimmery gold color with a bright nude highlight along the brow and black liquid eyeliner. For weekends, I use a shiny silver and black smokey eye with top liquid eyeliner, and massive mascara! Fierce!

this is an awesome Valentine's Day/February giveaway, boudoir eyes?! it's perfect haha I saved for the sweetheart blush but would love to try the eyeshadows they're so different.

As for the answer, my favorite nail polish for Valentine's is Spaghetti Strap by Essie - it's a whitish pink that gives just the innocent but still put together look. I do go overboard with makeup so this is my way of keepin' classy hehe
